Federal immigration authorities released a longtime Hillsboro resident from a detention facility Friday, according to U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici’s office.

Victor Cruz was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in a high-profile incident Oct. 14th. Democratic political leaders, his family and his attorney have all said Cruz is lawfully in the United States, and that it’s not clear why ICE took him across state lines to a detention facility in Tacoma, Washington.

Late last month, an immigration judge denied bail for Cruz, but a federal district court judge overruled that decision Friday [Nov. 7] and released Cruz on bond, according to Bonamici’s office.

“It is unacceptable that ICE continues to terrorize communities and tear families apart. I will do everything I can to hold those responsible accountable,” the Democratic lawmaker said in a press release.
